I said "pricing"... not "buying."

Unless, as you say, you're in a pinch and need something immediately - Best Buy is just a really big Amazon showroom.

And even if I need something immediately, there's a Microcenter about five minutes from Best Buy. Definitely would go there first for anything tech-related.

Noted.

I'm devastated. My last Star Wars reference didn't even raise an eyebrow.

I'm still trying to figure out the screenshot.

I scrolled down expecting to see Vader and then realized it was someone in what looks like Nightingale armor and a Dragon Priest mask, with an ROTJ-era Death Star hanging in the night sky over Skyrim. Photoshop or mod?

Were you in your karate gear?

Or were you surrounded by cats?

I've never tried shopping in my karate gear. Maybe I should. I'm pretty sure it helped get me out of a speeding ticket once.

That was it! Khajiit had my back.

Deathstar Mod.

Pretty cool, huh?

Been away from the forum for day and a half or so, so just catching up. Sounds like the whole project is going well, so far. I have a perhaps helpful household drilling hint: to minimize the tearing on the exit surface when using a hole saw, fasten or clamp a scrap board to the exit side of the piece. When you drill through, the scrap piece will prevent the tearing and ripping when the saw cuts through. If you can't fasten or clamp a board to the piece, lay the piece on top of the scrap board, make sure it won't shift, and drill through that way. I'm not one of those "This Old House" guys, but I do have a bit of experience having had to drill through a few desk and credenza backs when PCs first made their way into offices...

Even a little lady like you could do it...

(runs for cover...)

The fairer sex is just as capable of doing what their counterparts can do... except maybe writing their name in the snow with water based yellow ink and a natural appendage.

That's a really good tip, thanks!

Don't be so sure on the above example...I once saw it done and was so amazed they got a verbal caution instead of a free nights bed and breakfast at the taxpayers expense

The female in question was a belly or hula dancer perhaps?...

A young female barely past legal drinking age and a bit the worse for having consumed more alcohol than her body could tolerate.

I doubt any different to most cities in the UK and elsewhere but gone are the days when you'd only find males urinating in back alleys.
